China's state party posts defiant message about trade war with U.S. on social media site

President Trump loves to badger China on Twitter.

Now China is fighting back on its own social media platform.

The People’s Daily, a state newspaper for China’s Communist Party, posted a bright red message titled “This, is China’s attitude!” on its official WeChat account on Tuesday, one day after China announced it would retaliate against U.S. tariffs by imposing its own levies on U.S. goods.

“Negotiate, sure! Fight, anytime! Bully us, wishful thinking!” the graphic reads, with three statements in gold lettering printed on the red Chinese national flag and a picture of shipping containers in the background..

The Trump administration on last Friday raised tariffs on $200 billion in U.S. imports from China from 10% to 25%. In response, China said Monday that it would raise tariffs on $60 billion of American goods from a range of 5% to 10% to as much as 25%. Around 5,200 U.S. products will be affected, including hardwoods, soybeans, fruit, make-up and natural gas.
